The F96 car marked UTA's second championship title in a row and an unmatched eight victories in fifteen years of Formula SAE Competition.  F96 set a new benchmark for UTA success, accumulating the most points in Formula SAE history and winning by the largest margin in history.  Outstanding handling characteristics combined with good power and incredible fuel economy made F96 a great performer.  The suspension featured unequal length A-arms with dual inboard shock absorbers, all packaged inside a well-designed 4130 steel tube space frame.  The turbocharged Honda 400cc engine ran on M-85 fuel controlled by UTA's student-built and programmed five-injector electronic fuel injection, and featured a unique intake system that used a heat exchanger to pre-cool the air going into the restrictor.  This gave us an extra 5 horesepower.  We called it the “cool can”.
